Lindsay: The next Stevie Nicks?
 

Please god NO!

http://lifeandstylemag.hollywood.com...evie_nicks.php

It’s no secret that Lindsay Lohan parties up a storm, but the rave reviews she’s getting for her performance in her newest film, Bobby, prove the girl’s got major talent, too!

Now an insider tells Life & Style the 20-year-old spitfire is looking to take her career to the next level by angling for a role that will merge her love for singing and acting…and hopefully get her that Oscar she’s been dreaming of!

“She says that movies like Ray and Walk the Line are good examples of the kinds of projects she’d like to do,” the insider says. “She feels like she’s found a dream role in a story about Stevie Nicks at the height of Fleetwood Mac’s fame. Lindsay loves the music of that era, and [people] have told her she has the same distinctive gravelly voice as Stevie’s.”

Lindsay is working behind the scenes, says the insider, to get the rights to the story so she can produce it herself. She even has a leading man in mind to play Stevie’s longtime love and Fleetwood Mac band mate, Lindsey Buckingham — dreamy Jared Leto!

“She keeps saying what a great team they are on-screen and that she has always wondered why he didn’t have a bigger career,” says the insider.

That’s music to our ears!

i hope this is a coke-fueled delusion that never comes to fruition.

I have to agree she's quite good in Bobby (all the cast is incredible), but to imagine her as Stevie Nicks would give me nightmares.

That would be a nightmare...i'm shocked that she is even circulating such an idea!

over my dead body....

Click the article to see the pic...look closely, is Stevie wearing a hearing aid?

If she wants to try to fill Stevie's boots, more power to her. I don't think she has the draw of crowds like she did a few years ago. I'm just glad Stevie's story has been discussed. But how much "story" do they know? It will be hard to get a good 2 hour drama without the band coughing up some inside info....

it's probably just an ear monitor :shrug:

That's an ear monitor. Singers use those while performing on stage.

Jesus Christ on a pogo stick, this has got to be some sort of sick joke! :mad:

I saw the photo, it's almost like Stevie's facial expression is like... "No way are you playing my part in a movie"

Lindsay Lohan to make a movie about Stevie Nicks

On her last album, A Little More Personal, Lindsay Lohan covered "Edge of Seventeen," a Stevie Nicks song. It seems the experience has left a mark on Lindsay as she's now attempting to get the rights Stevie's story so that she can make it into a film, reports Life & Style Weekly.

An insider told L&S, "[Lindsay] says that movies like Ray and Walk the Line are good examples of the kinds of projects she'd like to do. She feels like she's found a dream role in a story about Stevie Nicks at the height of Fleetwood Mac's fame. Lindsay loves the music of that era, and [people] have told her she has the same distinctive gravelly voice as Stevie's."

Lohan is also hoping that her former flame - and the co-star of her upcoming film, Chapter 27 - Jared Leto, will sign on for the movie as well. Lindsay has Jared in mind for the role of Stevie's Fleetwood Mac bandmate and lover, Lindsey Buckingham. The L&S source revealed, "[Lindsay] keeps saying what a great team they are on-screen and that she has always wondered why [Jared] didn't have a bigger career."

The magazine claims that Lindsay is being very proactive in the process of securing the rights to the movie. She may even serve as one of its producers. This wouldn't be the first time Lohan has taken on extra responsibility. She directed the video for her song "Confessions of a Broken Heart."

As much as I'd love to see a Stevie movie, I fail to see how one can be made if they limit it to the "height of Fleetwood Mac's fame." That's 1978, and nothing especially tragic had happened to any of them at that point. Yeah, there was a lot of partying amidst some affairs and breakups - boo-freakin-hoo.

On the other hand, if they started in the studio while Bella Donna was being recorded, and ended with Stevie coming out of rehab, clear-headed at her piano writing DTBTIC, I could see it. All the Mac stuff could be handled in hyperreal drug-fueled flashbacks - that way you couldn't tell what was real and what was exaggerated, thus sparing everyone else's precious reputations.

Much more interesting will be the Landslide of lawsuits that bring down Ms. Lohan is Stevie doesn't like what's going on. :nod:

A few months back, I came close to putting together a script that focused on Stevie and her friendship with Robin Anderson. It started with them meeting in high school, and ended with Stevie choking up on stage after her death. Unfortunately, every time I put it to paper it was just too damned depressing.

Of course, it would also have plenty of kick-ass live performances. :rolleyes:

got this article on google alerts today. could only muster... "dear god... no."

seriously, and thankfully, i don't think she has a prayer of securing the rights. we all know what control freaks stevie, lindsey, and mick are.

it'll never happen.

thank god.
